Quality time with one’s family is a very admirable value in the Western World. In the Middle East, there are those who also value quality time with their children. This MemriTV video is absolutely miserable. ( Very interesting video ! "Catch them young" as they say ).The Middle East is a completely different world then the Western World.- no kidding, as they say !

Iraq is off course not the only Mohammadden majority country to have banned the burqua aka burka aka niquab on security grounds. Mohammadden majority countries of Chad, Cameroon and Niger have also banned this dress, wearing of which by female adherents is mandatory per Mohammaddenism, on security grounds.

When authorities of Mohammadden countries themselves seem unconvinced of the peacefulness of those with whom they share a common belief resulting in suspicion being aroused for wearing a belief mandated garment like a burqua, why do Mohammaddens demand that Non-Mohammaddens throw self-preservation to the wind and ignore the many instances of acts of Mohammadden Terrorism carried out by burka clad persons?

In the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan, three adherents of the minority Ahmadiyya aka Ahmadi sect of Mohammaddenism are sentenced to three years imprisonment and PKR 50K fine for the crime of ”excessive use of Quran and Islamic literature” along with “illegal possession of the Islamic Holy book”.

Pretty bizarre that Pakistan which takes every opportunity to tom tom its Mohammadden belief based credentials including terming itself an Idelogical Muslim State, Islamic Republic, Sole Islamic Nuclear Power and not to mention naming many of its ballistic missiles after Afghan War Lords who raped and plundered areas that forms today Pakistan simply because that were Mohammadden; has criminalised ”excessive use of Quran and Islamic literature” along with “illegal possession of the Islamic Holy book”:

Muslim children in China’s far western Xinjiang region are being forced to change their “religious” names and adults are being coerced into attending rallies showing devotion to the officially atheist Communist party.

During Ramadan, the authorities in Xinjiang have ordered all children under 16 to change names where police have determined they are “overly religious”. As many as 15 names have been banned, including Islam, Quran, Mecca, Jihad, Imam, Saddam, Hajj, Medina and Arafat, according to Radio Free Asia. Not clear, if the children can "revert" back to the "overly religious" name , once Ramadan is over !

“Terrorists are the scum of the Uighur people, they are the common enemies of the people of all ethnic groups,” said a Communist party cadre leading one of the rallies in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang. “We must treat the enemy harshly and brush away the old to make a clean sweep, we should raise our swords high and in no way be lenient.” Pakistani "Think Tanks" should "take notice" of this frightening development , and "direct" a study to meet this challenge "head -on" , as once the creeping Chinification of their "Islamic country " takes roots, they may be faced with the same problem

In recent months authorities began confiscating Qur’ans published before August 2012, declaring them illegal for containing “extremist content”, according to a report by US-funded Radio Free Asia.On the same day as the mass rallies, officials in Xinjiang announced they had expelled a Communist party member for attending religious activities at a local mosque. It was not clear if the man was a government official or simply a private citizen who was also a party member. Rules announced last year also forbid retired officials from attending religious ceremonies and ban them from holding and beliefs. Those who have the "genuine interest" of Pakistan in mind, should make every effort to ensure that the "Urdu Translation" of this is published in all vernacular newspapers and weeklies. Such challenge to Malsi cannot be allowed to remain unanswered - CPEC or no CPEC . They need to revive the ancient slogan of "Islam in danger" ASAP

The Sheikhs of Dubai, Abu Dhabi And Other Small Fiefdoms have so much money (earned on the backs of poor Indian & Paki day labourers ) to burn and a new found zeal to enter the ranks of the First World ( notwithstanding the prevalence of the Al mighty Sharia !) that today is the announcement of "First Robotic Cop" and yesterday (if I recall correctly ) was the trumpeting of the "First Tourist Flight to Outer Space" ! . Meanwhile , western tourists are booked for indecency,- under Sharia - if they are found "holding hands" on the "hot sands" of the beach !

"Our aim is to raise the number of robots to 25 percent of the police force by 2030," said Brigadier[*] Khaled al-Razzooqi, head of Smart Services at Dubai police.

[*] Probably, "commanding" a "brigade" of expat Indians, Pakis, Brits , Aussies and Amreekis , who are doing the nitty-gritty "smart services" behind the scenes !PS: Is the robotic cop , a practicing Sunni Muslim , ( praying 5 times a day ) keeping fast these days , and any plans to going to Hajj after Eid

Press Association reports that 2 eye witnesses say attackers were shouting Mohammadden belief based slogan of “This is for allah”. Anyway going by the history of terrorist attacks since the turn of this century in the UK, fact that this is the month of Ramzan aka Ramadan and modus operandi of attack, I would be greatly surprised if the perpetrators of this attack turn out to be Buddhist, Christist, Confucian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Rastafarian, Sikh, Taoist, Yazidi or Zorastrian though I will say not say that I would be mildly surprised if the perpetrators indeed turnout to be motivated by Mohammaddenism as suggested by the nature of the sloganeering during the rampage. .

Witness Eric described the terror attack as a “rampage”. He told BBC Radio 5 Live he saw three people get out the van and initially believed they were going to help those who had been injured. He said: “The three people literally started kicking them, punching them, and took out knives. It was a rampage really.” The three men ran off towards the nearby bars and restaurants and there was a shout of “this is for Allah”, he told the station.

Another witness called Gerard said the suspects stabbed a series of people near Borough Market and shouted, “This is for Allah”.

About 1,500 people were injured in the Italian city of Turin after a firecracker provoked a stampede on Saturday night, police say.Thousands of football fans were watching a live relay of Juventus' Champions League final against Real Madrid in Cardiff when a bang was heard and rumours of an explosion spread.

Statement on Saturday’s Mohammadden Terrorist attack in London by Harun Khan, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain "That this should happen in this month of Ramadan, when many Muslims were praying and fasting only goes to show that these people respect neither life nor faith.”, is a caravan load of porcine excreta designed only to gull credulous non Mohammadden Kaafirs into believing that the repeated acts of Ramzan month Mohammadden Terrorism the world has seen are purely an aberrant act. A caravan load of porcine excreta as it is a well established fact, confirmed by texts Mohammaddens revere, that the founder of Mohammaddenism himself participated in war and mayhem during the month of Ramzan aka Ramadan by involving himself in the Battle of Badr.

Harun Khan better watch his step as the implication that founder of Mohammaddenism had “respect neither life nor faith” could get him Bull Cutletted aka Wajib ul Qatl by one of his fellow adherent’s of Mohammaddenism who are notoriously short fused on these matters:

In the Land of the Pure, Mohammadden physician who was fasting for Ramazan refuses to treat Christist sanitary worker as he was impure ie: Na Pak, leading to the death of the Christist sanitary worker:

UMERKOT:

In yet another incident exposing the lack of conformity to safety rules and the alleged apathy of medical practitioners, a sanitary worker suffocated to death on Thursday in Umerkot. The deceased, 30-year-old Irfan Masih, fell unconscious along with three other sanitary staff while cleaning a manhole on Chorr Road in Umerkot.

He died hours later in the government hospital in front of doctors who were allegedly reluctant to treat him because Irfan was drenched in sewage sludge. The other three sanitary workers, Faisal Masih, Yaqoob Masih and Shaukat Masih, were referred to Hyderabad and later Karachi for medical treatment.

All of the workers fell unconscious while cleaning the central manhole, which had already claimed the lives of two sanitary workers, 25-year-old Krishan Gujrati and 28-year-old Nawaz Masih, in September 2012. Local residents pulled out the staff from the manhole and shifted them to the hospital.

“The doctors refused to treat him because they were fasting and said my son was ‘napaak [unclean]’,” claimed Irshad Masih, the mother of the deceased. …………..

An investigation into the foreign funding and support of jihadi groups that was authorised by David Cameron may never be published, the Home Office has admitted.The inquiry into revenue streams for extremist groups operating in the UK was commissioned by the former prime minister and is thought to focus on Saudi Arabia, which has repeatedly been highlighted by European leaders as a funding source for Islamist jihadis. When the name of this # 1 culprit is whispered in reference to "terrorism finance" even countries like UK and USA walk on egg shells !

However, 18 months later, the Home Office confirmed the report had not yet been completed and said it would not necessarily be published, calling the contents “very sensitive”.

“It is no secret that Saudi Arabia in particular provides funding to hundreds of mosques in the UK, espousing a very hardline Wahhabist interpretation of Islam. It is often in these institutions that British extremism takes root.” On the other hand , the Mullahs of Iran openly espouse their intention to "enforce" an Islamic System, but do not play a "double game" like the Saudis !

The Lib Dem leader, Tim Farron, said he felt the government had not held up its side of the bargain made ahead of the vote on airstrikes. The report must be published when it was completed, he insisted, despite the Home Office caution that information in the document would be sensitive.

UK Police release names of two of the three involved in the London Bridge attack.

Unsurprisingly a link to the Mohammadden Terrorism Fomenting Islamic Republic of Pakistan emerges. One of the attackers is identified as “a Pakistan-born British citizen”, Khuram Shazad Butt.

The other attacker is identified as Rachid Redouane aka Rachid Elkhdar who is identified as “Moroccan and Libyan”/

Both of the named attackers, going by name, are adherents of Mohammaddenism making the London Bridge attack yet another case of Islamic Terrorism carried out by Mohammaddens during the significant to Mohammaddens month of Ramzan aka Ramadan.

Wales (UK): A Muslim religious priest in Cardiff, United Kingdom, has been accused of sexually assaulting minor girls as young as five years old when they sat with him during Koran recitals.

According to a report in Daily Mail, 81-year-old Mohammed Haji Sadiq would touch the girls on their stomach, chest and private parts during his Koran classes at Madina Mosque in Cardiff, where he taught primary school children for 36 years.

He would also pull the girls towards him and rub their bodies against the inner part of his legs. He would call them to sit next to him saying he wanted to hear them recite the Koran.

Prosecutor Suzanne Thomas said that he took advantage of his position to sexually abuse the girls in his care.

One of his victims, who is now 26 years old, said he would abuse her several times a week. She said that he had touched her under her clothes many times and sometimes he would lay her face on his lap and touch her between her legs.

The priest denied seven counts of indecent assault of a girl under 14 years, and eight counts of assaulting a girl less than 13 years of age by touching.

May the Gods preserve us Non Mohammadden Buddhist, Christist, Confucian, Hindu, Jewish, Jain, Sikh, Shinto, Taoist, Yazidi and Zoroastrian Kaafirs from acts of Islamic Terrorism as the Mohammadden month of Ramzan aka Ramadan unfortunately has many more days to exert its baleful influence by instigating some adherents of Mohammaddenism to commit acts of violence targeting us Non Mohammaddens.

Attacks include suicide bombing the tomb of Ayatollah Khomeini, an individual considered significant from a Mohammadden belief standpoint; and an attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Parliament which is ongoing. Death toll of this Ramzan aka Ramadan act of Islamic Terrorism stands at 7:

TEHRAN, Iran -- The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed two attacks in Tehran after several armed assailants stormed into the country's parliament building and suicide bombers targeted the shrine of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on Wednesday, with the shooting at the legislature still underway.

The local Tasnim news agency reported that seven people had been killed and four people were taken hostage in the attack on parliament. Citing sources on the ground and adding that the information hadn't been confirmed by security personnel, Tasnim said the hostages were being held on the upper floors of the parliament building.

State broadcaster IRIB reported that one of the parliament attackers detonated a suicide vest on the fourth floor of the building amid the ongoing siege. ……………………

That's how you gotta deal with them. We should follow the Chinese demographic policy in Xinjiang and move kaffir settlers into Kashmir to convert muslims into the minority there.

But you can bet we won't. In 50 years India will fall under muslim domination from within, while Beijing, by that point, won't even be worried about its western muslim problem, because the region will be full of Han Chinese.

Adnan Khashoggi, the flamboyant Saudi arms trader who rose to spectacular wealth in the 1970s and 1980s while treating the world to displays of decadence breathtaking even by the standards of that era, died on Tuesday in London. He was 81.His family announced his death in a statement. He had been undergoing treatment for Parkinson’s disease.When Saudi Arabia and other Arab states decided to embark on a vast armament program after the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, backed by billions of dollars in oil money, Mr. Khashoggi became their principal link to the American arms industry. For years, he was the middleman in most of Saudi Arabia’s arms purchases.Mr. Khashoggi had several brushes with the law but was never convicted of a crime. He was involved in many of his era’s highest-profile scandals, including Iran-contra and the Marcos family’s effort to spirit money out of the Philippines.

Apart from his financial wheeling dealing, like most Saudis, he had a taste for "young, white flesh", spend a few years with them, get tired and get rid of them paying hugh amounts as "settlements" . Wonder how he can reconcile these contradictions with the austere Wahabi version of Malsi , that is de -jure in Saudia

Tarek Fatah should not be allowed in Aligarh – Congress & SP back AMU students’ demand

Leaders and student organisations affiliated to Congress and Samajwadi Party have opposed the arrival of Pakistan born Canadian author Tarek Fatah in Aligarh and demanded that the event where he is supposed to speak be cancelled.Tarek Fatah, who is known for his outspoken views on radical Islam and for his views against Pakistan, is slated to attend and address an event at local DS College on 11th of this month. Fateh has been invited as a keynote speaker at the event which is titled “World peace and Islam—a Dialogue”.

The event first attracted opposition from AMU (Aligarh Muslim University) Students Union, which took the matter with district administration and asked them to repeal the permission given to hold the event.The AMU Students Union President claimed that the event will ‘hurt the sentiments of Muslim community’ in the holy month of Ramzan and it could further vitiate the city’s atmosphere as Aligarh is Muslim dominated. Similar tactics are being used by Arab and Muslim students at North American Universities, where they want to dis invite controversial speakers, who do not toe their line on world affairs !

It seems that the local administration did not succumb to these veiled threats by AMU Students Union, so now Congress and Samajwadi Party have joined the bandwagon in opposing Fatah. Leaders and students belonging to outfits affiliated with both the parties are now putting pressure on the college administration to cancel the event. Ultimately it boils down to "vote bank" politics.

This is not for the first time when groups claiming to respect Muslim sentiments have opposed Tarek Fatah’s presence at any event or any city. An anti-Pakistan event in Kolkata, West Bengal was cancelled after similar protests and pressure in January this year, while Fatah was physically manhandled at an Urdu poetry event at Delhi in the following month

Article titled “Ramadan Rage 2017 : The Complete List of Jihadist Attacks Around the World”, chroncles the various acts of Maoammadden belief inspired attacks around the world.

Article informs that “During the first 13 days of Ramadan 2017 period, there have been an estimated 70 terror attacks carried out in the name of Allah (by Islamic extremists) resulting in the death of 950 people and injury of 1,021.”

As explanation for the “Ramadan Rage” article also says “other adherents of Islam perceive Ramadan as a time when martyrdom and jihad is especially valued — doubly rewarded in paradise, prompting a spike in terrorist attack during the holy month.”

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Shabab militants killed dozens of people — soldiers and civilians, including children — when they stormed a military base on Thursday in northeastern Somalia, officials said.

Reports about the number of people killed in the attack in the semiautonomous Puntland region varied widely. A spokesman for the Shabab, extremists who regularly carry out attacks against the government, said fighters had killed more than 60 soldiers and made off with the military’s equipment. ………………………..

Neither the Mohammadden Sabbath of Friday nor the significant to Mohammaddens month of Ramazan aka Ramadan seems to have been sufficient to get the “Peace” that Mohammaddens claim is inherent in their belief to rub off on the female suicide bomber :

“Those who are not prepared to accept Enlightenment values will have to leave our country and society,” reads the text of the law that drew thousands of protesters to the streets earlier this year, before it was passed by a centrist coalition last month.

Women who will wear Islamic veils – either the burqa or the niqab – in public places, will face a fine of €150 ($168).

More generally, newcomers who expect to stay in Austria, will need to enroll in a 12-month “integration course,” which includes German language lessons, if they are to receive their welfare benefits.

They will also be expressly forbidden from distributing incendiary radical materials, and are encouraged to volunteer before they can get their work permits, so that they are better prepared for life in the workplace.

From the EU point of view,an explicit policy of signing documents on arrival which clearly demand adherence and loyalty to the values enshrined in the constitution of the state, with violation guaranteeing deportation back to state of origin. Else, don't come in. It will happen, one by one.

WASHINGTON: Muslims in the United States are finding it increasingly hard to get approval for the construction of new mosques as they claim rising anti-Muslim sentiments is driving local administrations in various towns and cities to unfairly deny their applications to build places of worship.

However, while Muslims are fighting legal battle for their right of worship in courts, the US Department of Justice is trying to end the discrimination against Muslims by filing law suits against towns and cities denying permissions to build mosques.

Last week, the Department of Justice announced that Bernards Township in US state of New Jersey will pay $3.25 million to settle a lawsuit over its denial of a permit to build a mosque. The department has also opened investigation into denial of a mosque in Bayonne, another city of the same state.

In its special report last year, the US Department of Justice had pointed out a sharp increase in the number of its investigations into religious discrimination involving mosques or Islamic schools over the past six years. The department opened 17 investigations involving Muslim groups under the Religious Land Useand Institutionalised Persons Act, which protects groups from discrimination in land-use decisions.

The report cites "particularly severe discrimination faced by Muslims in land use." It notes that 84 percent of investigations that don’t involve Muslim issues ended in a positive resolution without any lawsuit compared to only 20 percent of cases involving mosques and Islamic schools.

New Jersey, with a growing Muslim population, has seen several recent discrimination cases involving mosques. In 2014, Bridgewater paid $7.5 million to settle a lawsuit after officials rejected a proposal to turn a former banquet hall into an Islamic community center. And in February, the Garden State Islamic Center alleged in a federal lawsuit that Vineland discriminated when it denied a permit for full use of the mosque, also citing unequal treatment.

In Vineland, Bernards and Toms River, where a mosque application is also pending, boards have changed their zoning rules in ways that have made it more difficult for mosque proposals to proceed.

Adeel Abdullah Mangi, an attorney representing Muslim groups in Bernards and Bayonne lawsuits told the local newspaper NorthJersey.com about hate being spread by Anti-Muslim elements.

Anti-mosque fliers were put in children’s mailboxes at school. The church basement where they used to pray was spray-painted with slurs and curses. A “stop the mosque” Facebook page has drawn hundreds of followers and bigoted comments.

“How much uglier can it gets than that?” said Mangi. “Municipalities around the country should pay close attention to what happened in Bernards Township,” he said. “The American Muslim community has the legal resources, the allies and the determination to stand up for its constitutional rights in court and will do so.”

Dina Sayedahmed, 22, of Bayonne told the paper that it was hard to hear hateful comments from people in the city where she grew up and attended school. "If someone tells us 'Go back to where came from' or 'We want to save the community from you guys,' that’s going to hurt," she said.

Faith is often expressed through the observance of the law. The failure to follow Islamic law is a reflection of the believer’s lack of faith and unwillingness to submit to God. Salvation is impossible without law.
